What's her appearance in the books? Is it more closely related to her appearance in the games or??

Books have a little bit of retconning in regards to her appearance. I believe she's a brunette in one of the first books and a redhead in the later ones. She's definitely not the absurdly vibrant red of the games though. The only other notable book detail about her appearance is that she can't wear dresses with a plunging neckline due to a large scar that she's never been able to heal (book Triss is somewhat allergic to the appearance changing magic/potions that all the other sorceresses use).

Looks terrible, coming from someone who has played all the games more than once. Characters look nothing alike, the story from the trailer looks like a load of crap and full of B-List actors. Yennifer was supposed to be hot, guess not.

Apparently the books were the primary source material when it came to production.

Triss looks nothing like she does in the games...

the series is indeed based on the books (which are the original source material for the game).

Triss looks weird here tbh but re: yenn - in the books, the reason she looks "hot" is because she has essentially cast spells to make her look like a pretty lady in their early 20s, yet is supposed to really have some deformities which the enchantments hide. In the books geralt notices this but still loves her.
